THIS MONTH
Fugal Quease (Michael Norris - custom instruments and electroacoustics - UK)
Anthony Pateras & Robin Fox (multi-speaker improvisational environments - Melbourne)
The Lost Domain (folk-form based electric-acoustic experts - Brisbane)

FUGAL QUEASE (aka Michael Norris) makes music that in some forms is typically quite extreme and sometimes difficult to listen to for long periods of time, but to watch him perform live is a sight to see! Using feedback via various home-made instruments as his main instrument, his performances are imaginative and it is virtually impossible to predict which inanimate object will be used to create the sounds he massages. This will be Michael's first performance in Brisbane in over a year since relocating to Plymouth UK where he has been developing a new theory of how the brain processes sound as well as playing an amplified jelly!

ANTHONY PATERAS & ROBIN FOX perform with a unique combination of analogue electronics, microphones, objects and laptop. Pateras (pianist/composer/improviser) and Fox (computer based sound artist) have developed a reputation in Melbourne for delivering high powered and exciting performances that focus on spontaneous composition and the real time processing of improvised sonic objects. In their Small Black Box performance the duo will be integrating 4-channel diffusion into their uniquely transforming generative compositional feed-back loops.

THE LOST DOMAIN, now in their 15th year, have covered the realms of free-folk, improv, post-rock, avant sounds & distortions, lyrical blues & jazz based forms and dubbish lands, and have done so in their own undiscovered and much loved manner. The Lost Domain are unique in both range and manner, and at any given gig all of the above musics may happen at once, or you might see yet another entirely brand new bag.
